I enjoyed the series, but I think every series after The New Jedi Order has suffered in comparison. The stakes in that series were so high and the writing and plots so incredible that it's hard to top. I did like this series better than Legacy of the Force though.

This book really had the feeling of a conclusion as well as the feeling that they're truly moving forward. Allana is finally revealed as the daughter of Tenel Ka and Jacen, and the Jedi move from Coruscant, where they were constantly in the middle of political maneuvering and bickering, to go to their new base. I loved Jaina's part in this novel (seeing as she's been my favorite EU character since I started reading years and years ago, I love when she's written well). We really get to see her epic combat skills but her love for Jag and her family is a huge factor in the books as well. I would love to see more interaction between her and Allana, considering she's the only part of Jacen that she has left.

I'm looking forward to whatever series they decide to tackle next. I think they have some very interesting plot lines to follow so here's hoping they can create something that will challenge NJO as my favorite SW series. ...more

It isn't as dark and gloomy as the other series and I am loving all of these books. Allana is turning into a wonderful character. They're handling her "on page" development well, making her someone that I will enjoy reading in the future. ...more

The new overarching problem with these younger Jedi going insane is original and engrossing. There seems to be a fresher and lighter approach to this new series. Not as depressing and dark as the previous series. I love Jaina Solo, and her interactions with Jag and her parents are my favorite parts of the novel. The banter is great, the characters feel real, and I'm always left wanting more. ...more

Regardless, it was a decent installment but not anything spectacular. ...more

After the last series that was so heart-breaking and depressing this opener for the new "Fate of the Jedi" series was a breath of fresh air. The banter was witty and funny, with all of the main characters interacting. It brought in a new, interesting plot line that has a lot of potential. Jaina had a huge role in the book which I also loved. Now if they can just hold off and not kill any more major characters for the next 10 years I'll be a happy Star Wars fan. ...more

I loved the further characterization of Allana and the fact that they didn't just sweep Jacen's death underneath the rug and try and forget about it. Han and Leia have lost both of their sons and it's nice to see them acting like they realize this instead of invincible heros. I missed Jaina something fierce and I can't WAIT until the next installment that comes out in April. The added characters were interesting and never tedious. Some of the stories were incredibly interesting. Particularly Dr. Parlay Thorp. I would actually have read a whole other novel about her and her adventures. I really enjoyed it but now I want the real deal novel with the whole cast of characters. Luke was in here briefly...but does that boy need a vacation. Sheesh. ...more
